CENTRAL POINT, Ore. — A body recovered from the Rogue River has been identified as man reported missing this week from Marysville.

The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office says a medical examiner identified Gary Schultz by fingerprints. The 64-year-old man had been reported missing and possibly suicidal Tuesday.

Deputies believe Schultz had been in the water for only a little while before his body was noticed. His vehicle was found in the parking lot at Valley of the Rogue State Park.

An autopsy is planned.
